Woodland of all sorts, most frequently in dead and decaying wood and under the bark of dead trees and branches. However, it migrates vertically and is found in leaf litter especially from autumn to spring and in the soil when it is cold. It is hygrophile and accumulates in rather deep decomposing litter and the underlying humus on silty soils in particular (

). It is found in hedges, arable land, parks, gardens and other places, generally associated with wood, yet is more rural than synanthropic.
Many studies of this species have been made, e.g.,

. It migrates vertically from the leaf litter or the soil in cold winters up into trees in the spring; in summer it may be found metres above the ground, descending again during the autumn. Its lowland Atlantic distribution is probably governed by the avoidance of cold winter temperatures. Wood and leaf litter are both important foods. It is a very common species, the most frequently recorded in Britain (
